- Echo Fort / by Peckham, Caroline,author.; Valenti, Susanne,author.;
The sky is burning. The Reapers are keeping secrets. Vampires roam the wastes. And I'm headed down a path of destruction which can only end in death. I'm a soul cast adrift on a tide of grief and lies. A clock ticking down the moments to my inevitable destruction, and all I can do is race towards it. The nations are caught in this endless battle for supremacy and it's hard to see myself as anything other than a pawn in the twisted games I'm helpless to control. The Waning Lands are screaming, soaked in blood for so long that even the rivers run red with it. But those screams are whispering riddles that only some of us can hear, begging us to see the signs and listen to the meaning beneath the words we chant so obediently. What if there is something more to this war? What if winning isn't what actually matters? What if our magic isn't the thing that truly divides us? My heart is hardened to the wants of the world and all who occupy it, yet still I hear them call my name. Perhaps it's time I started listening and found out why the stars have set us this fate. Or if not the stars, then who? Something is rotting at the heart of our lands. So now I have a choice to make. Will I seek out the decay and work to destroy it? Or will I join it in its destruction of this world in vengeance for all the suffering it has offered me? I'm starting to want things I shouldn't want. Desire a man I should hate. Care for a warrior I should only wish to harm. The point is, I'm beginning to feel like more than just another pawn in this endless game. But if I want to be the one who rolls the dice then I'm going to have to pay the price of playing for real. I only wanted to claim revenge for what I'd lost. Maybe Destiny isn't done with me yet.

- The echoes / by Wyld, Evie,author.;
"From the award-winning novelist, a ravishing new novel set between London and rural Australia, both a love story and a ghost story. Max didn't believe in an afterlife. Until he died. Now, as a reluctant ghost trying to work out why he is still here, he watches his girlfriend Hannah lost in grief in the apartment they shared and begins to realize how much of her life was invisible to him. In the weeks and months before Max's death, Hannah was haunted by the secrets she left Australia to escape. A relationship with Max seemed to offer the potential of a fresh new chapter, but the past refused to stay hidden. It found expression in the untold stories of the people she grew up with, and the events that broke her family apart and led her to Max. Both a celebration and autopsy of a relationship, spanning multiple generations, The Echoes is a novel about love and grief, motherhood and sisterhood, secrets and who has the right to reveal them-what of our past can be cast away and what is fixed forever, echoing down through the years"--

- Echo of worlds / by Carey, M. R.,1959-author.;
"Two mighty empires are at war - and both will lose, with thousands of planets falling to the extinction event called the Scour. At least that's what the artificial intelligence known as Rupshe believes. But somewhere in the multiverse there exists a force - the Mother Mass - that could end the war in an instant, and Rupshe has assembled a team to find it. Essien Nkanika, a soldier trying desperately to atone for past sins; the cat-woman Moon, a conscienceless killer; the digitally recorded mind of physicist Hadiz Tambuwal; Paz, an idealistic child and the renegade robot spy Dulcimer Coronal. Their mission will take them from the hellish prison world of Tsakom to the poisoned remains of a post-apocalyptic Earth, and finally bring them face to face with the Mother Mass itself. But can they persuade it to end eons of neutrality and help them? And is it too late to make a difference? Because the Pandominion's doomsday machines are about to be unleashed - and not even their builders know how to control them"--

And the threat is creeping ever closer. Has she uncovered a treasure from the past that someone will kill for?
